Current report

Pending the receipt of favorable results from the SOL-1 trial and planned interactions with the FDA, we intend to submit a new drug application, or NDA, for AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD based on Week 52 data from the SOL-1 trial, without necessarily waiting to receive additional clinical data from the SOL-1, SOL-R or other clinical trials. Because axitinib is FDA-approved for non-ophthalmic indications, we plan to submit an NDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, which has the potential to shorten the review timeline for AXPAXLI by up to two months compared to the traditional review pathway for new molecular entities.

Current report

As of February 4, 2026, the SOL-1 trial continues to maintain an exceptional rate of subject retention and per protocol-defined treatment rescues. All subjects have completed their Week 52 visit and have been re-dosed according to their baseline treatment assignment. Oversight by an independent data and safety monitoring committee has not identified any safety signals in the SOL-1 trial to date.

Current report

As of February 4, 2026, the results of the SOL-1 trial remain masked. We expect to present Week 52 results for the SOL-1 trial at the 49th Macula Society Annual Meeting, taking place between February 25 – 28, 2026.

Current report

In November 2025, we announced that the SOL-R trial has achieved its randomization target of 555 subjects. We continued to allow randomization of previously enrolled subjects that were still in the loading phase when we achieved target randomization to maintain our commitment to both patients and investigators. We completed randomization of the SOL-R trial in December 2025 with 631 subjects randomized. We expect topline data from the SOL-R trial to be available in the first quarter of 2027, an acceleration from our previous guidance of the first half of 2027.

Current report

We plan to initiate, in the second quarter of 2026, a multi-center, open-label long-term safety extension clinical trial, which we refer to as the SOL-X trial, to evaluate subjects who have completed their two-year safety follow-up visits in either the SOL-1 or SOL-R trials for an additional three years.

Current report

We have initiated our registrational program for AXPAXLI for the treatment of diabetic retinal disease with the HELIOS-3 superiority clinical trial for the treatment of NPDR in November 2025. We plan to refine our development and regulatory strategy for AXPAXLI for the treatment of diabetic retinal disease based on our planned engagements with the FDA regarding the regulatory pathway for AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD.

Current report

In the third quarter of 2025, we completed a pilot repeat-dose sub-study in a subset of subjects from our Phase 2 clinical trial of OTX-TIC to evaluate the safety of a repeat, sustained release dose of OTX-TIC 26 µg. OTX-TIC 26 µg was generally well tolerated after both single and repeat dosing in patients with OAG or OHT. In addition, no new safety concerns were identified following repeat-dosing of OTX-TIC 26 µg in the small subset of subjects who participated in the sub-study. We are currently evaluating next steps for the OTX-TIC program.

Current report

In October 2025, we completed an underwritten offering of 37,909,018 shares of our common stock for an offering price of $12.53 per share, or the 2025 Offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $445.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, from the 2025 Offering.

Current report

Our net product revenue was $51.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $11.6 million or 18.3% over the year ended December 31, 2024. We believe that the year-over-year decrease in net product revenue is primarily attributable to the Medicare reimbursement cap, the impact of rebates and discounts, and the impact of the inclusion of DEXTENZA into the cost performance category of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Merit-based Incentive Payment System, or MIPS, for 2025.

Current report

Demand for DEXTENZA is determined by In-Market Sales, defined as unit sales from the SDs to ASCs, HOPDs, and physicians’ offices, and unit sales made directly by us to ASCs and physicians’ offices. We recorded In-Market Sales of approximately 180,000 units for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of approximately 5,000 units compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Differences between In-Market Sales figures and the number of units of DEXTENZA sold by us to SDs and through Direct Sales as included in net product revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements are attributable to distributor stocking patterns. We believe that clinicians are adjusting to the impact of MIPS, and together with our increased sales efforts directed towards HOPDs, we expect DEXTENZA unit growth to continue.

Current report

The Trump administration has announced or imposed a series of tariffs on U.S. trading partners. In response, several countries have threatened or imposed retaliatory measures. At this time, we do not anticipate the tariffs and changes in trade policies in place as of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K will have a significant adverse effect on our business or operations.

Current report

Following recent changes more broadly within the FDA, and the federal government shutdown in 2025, we have not noticed any disruption in the cadence and nature of our dialogue with the FDA to date.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, which includes, among other provisions, significant changes to healthcare policy. At this time, we do not anticipate the changes implemented by the OBBBA to have a significant adverse effect on our business or operations.

Current report

We record DEXTENZA product sales net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including off-invoice discounts, or OIDs, estimated chargebacks, rebates, distribution fees, product returns, and other incentives. Collectively, these discounts, allowances and other reserves are generally referred to as gross-to-net provisions, or GTN Provisions.

Current report

*Interest Income.*We earn interest income primarily from investments of our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds.

Current report

Research and development expenses were $197.1 million and $127.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting an increase of $69.5 million year-over-year.

Current report

We expect that direct research and development expenses for our products and product candidates will remain at this level or increase further for 2026 and beyond as we progress with the SOL-1, SOL-R and HELIOS-3 trials; initiate the planned SOL-X trial in the second quarter of 2026 and, if needed, the HELIOS-2 trial; and scale-up registration-enabling manufacturing activities for AXPAXLI. We expect that personnel costs will continue to increase for 2026 and beyond as we plan to hire additional personnel to support our planned clinical trials and manufacturing scale-up.

Current report

Selling and marketing expenses were $53.9 million and $41.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting an increase of $12.3 million year-over-year.

Current report

professional fees, including costs related to corporate branding and pre-commercial activities for AXPAXLI, and an increase in other costs of $1.0 million.

Current report

General and administrative expenses were $64.4 million and $60.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting an increase of $3.7 million year-over-year.

Current report

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase for 2026 and beyond, as we continue to further strengthen certain functions and processes that support our clinical trials of AXPAXLI, including the SOL-1 trial, the SOL-R trial, the HELIOS-3 trial, and the planned SOL-X trial, manufacturing scale-up and potential commercial launch initiatives for AXPAXLI.

Current report

In October 2025, we completed the sale of 37,909,018 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2025 Offering, resulting in net proceeds to us of $445.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated other offering expenses.

Current report

commercialization of DEXTENZA, the pace of our research and clinical development programs, the timing of commencement of dosing and enrollment of our clinical trials, the progress of our manufacturing validation and scale-up and other aspects of our business. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Current report

Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $204.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily resulting from our net loss of $265.9 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $53.3 million and net favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $7.7 million. Our net loss was primarily attributed to operating expenses of $322.0 million, which we incurred primarily for research and development activities, selling and marketing activities, and general and administrative activities, and non-operating expenses, net, of $4.1 million, partially offset by $51.9 million of revenue. Non-cash adjustments primarily include stock-based compensation expense of $43.2 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $4.3 million, non-cash interest expense of $3.4 million, and a net non-cash loss related to changes in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $2.5 million. Net cash provided by net favorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted primarily of increases of accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5.2 million, resulting primarily from employee compensation-related accruals as well as accruals related to our clinical development, decreases of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.6 million, and decreases of accounts receivable of $1.7 million, resulting from decreased net sales of DEXTENZA, partially offset by decreases of accounts payable of $0.9 million and other changes, net, of $1.0 million.

Current report

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $561.7 million and consisted of total net proceeds from the 2025 Offering of $445.6 million, total net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement of $94.0 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $20.5 million, and proceeds from issuing shares under our ESPP, of $1.6 million.

Previous report

In December 2024, the SOL-1 trial, our first registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD, completed randomization of more than 300 evaluable treatment-naïve subjects with a diagnosis of wet AMD in the study eye.

Previous report

On January 14, 2025, we announced that, as of January 10, 2025, we had enrolled 311 subjects across various stages of loading and randomization in the SOL-R trial, our repeat-dosing registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD.

Previous report

On February 24, 2025, we received an agreement letter regarding a second modification of our Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, agreement for our SOL-1 trial from the FDA that allows us to add a repeat dose of AXPAXLI at each of Week 52 and Week 76 for the AXPAXLI arm to generate the required safety data for subjects re-dosed with AXPAXLI through Week 104 to support long-term dosing. As of March 3, 2025, subject retention in the SOL-1 trial has been exceptional, and the vast majority of supplemental treatments, reviewed on a masked basis, have been in accordance with pre-specified criteria under the trial protocol. Because the inclusion of re-dosing requires all data to be masked until Week 52, we now expect topline results for SOL-1 to be available in the first quarter of 2026. The optimized design of the SOL-1 trial enhances the potential for a 6 - 12 month dosing label for AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD and also provides insights into the long-term durability of AXPAXLI.

Previous report

We previously intended to randomize 825 subjects in the SOL-R trial. The inclusion of re-dosing in the SOL-1 trial and the exceptional subject retention to date in the SOl-1 trial allow us to reduce the SOL-R trial size to 555 subjects.

Previous report

We have completed the HELIOS trial of AXPAXLI for the treatment of NPDR. We intend to meet with the FDA in the first half of 2025 to discuss the design of a potential registrational clinical program for AXPAXLI for the treatment of NPDR and DME and then evaluate our next steps.

Previous report

We believe that DEXTENZA is currently used in less than 5% of cataract procedures and that commercial growth may be driven by a continued focus on sales to ASCs, specifically corporate accounts that own and control multiple ASCs and HOPDs.

Previous report

In June 2024, we submitted the data for our clinical trial to evaluate DEXTENZA in pediatric subjects following cataract surgery to the FDA to fulfill a post-approval requirement of the FDA in connection with the FDA’s prior approval of DEXTENZA for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery in adults. We anticipate receiving the FDA’s decision on the pediatric labeling for DEXTENZA during the second quarter of 2025.

Previous report

In May 2024, our board of directors approved a strategic reduction in force to eliminate 37 full-time employees, primarily in research and development and technical operations and representing approximately 13% of our workforce, as part of an initiative to prioritize our resources on the clinical development of AXPAXLI for the treatment of wet AMD, or the Strategic Restructuring. We completed the Strategic Restructuring, recorded the related restructuring charges of $1.6 million, resulting primarily from garden leaves and severance benefits, and paid all previously accrued restructuring charges in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Previous report

In March 2024, the holder of our $37.5 million unsecured senior subordinated convertible notes, or the Convertible Notes, converted the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, and we issued to the holder of the Convertible Notes 5,769,232 shares of our common stock with a total fair value of $52.5 million and paid $11.4 million for accrued interest. The accounting for the extinguishment of the Convertible Notes resulted in a non-cash loss of $28.0 million.

Previous report

We recognize product revenue when we sell DEXTENZA in the United States to a network of SDs who then resell the product to ASCs, HOPDs, and physicians’ offices, and when we sell DEXTENZA on a direct basis to a small number of ASCs and physicians’ offices. We record DEXTENZA product sales net of estimated chargebacks, rebates, distribution fees and product returns. These deductions are generally referred to as gross-to-net deductions.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were $127.6 million and $61.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting an increase of $66.6 million year-over-year.

Previous report

We expect that direct research and development expenses for our products and product candidates will increase significantly for 2025 as we progress with the SOL-1 and the SOL-R trials; complete our other ongoing clinical trials; and initiate any other clinical trials of our product candidates that we might determine in the future to conduct, partially offset by reduced costs related to preclinical programs as a result of the Strategic Restructuring. We expect that personnel costs will increase for 2025 and beyond, as we have strengthened in 2024, and may continue to further strengthen in 2025, our clinical leadership team and our clinical teams dedicated to the SOL-1 and SOL-R trials, with the addition of several retinal disease experts and other key professionals. The anticipated increase will be partially offset by reduced personnel costs as a result of the Strategic Restructuring. We do not anticipate to incur significant research and development costs for our former product candidates OTX-DED and OTX-CSI in 2025 and beyond.

Previous report

Selling and marketing expenses were $41.6 million and $40.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting an increase of $1.0 million year-over-year.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses were $60.7 million and $33.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting an increase of $26.7 million year-over-year.

Previous report

We anticipate that the level of our general and administrative expenses, exclusive of the one-time charges related to restructuring activities, will increase for 2025, as we have recently strengthened, and will continue to further

Previous report

strengthen, our leadership team and other certain functions that support our clinical trials of AXPAXLI, including the SOL-1 trial and the SOL-R trial, and our business in general.

Previous report

In August 2023, we entered into the Barings Credit Agreement with Barings as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, providing for the Barings Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $82.5 million. We borrowed the full amount of $82.5 million at closing and received proceeds of $77.3 million, after the application of an original issue discount and fees.

Previous report

Net cash used in operating activities was $59.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily resulting from our net loss of $71.0 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $10.1 million and net favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million. Our net loss was primarily attributed to operating expenses of $130.1 million, which we incurred primarily for research and development activities, selling and marketing activities, and general and administrative activities, partially offset by $51.5 million of revenue and a net non-operating income of $7.6 million. Non-cash adjustments primarily include stock-based compensation expense of $17.0 million, non-cash income related to changes in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $13.8 million, non-cash interest expense of $4.9 million, and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.1 million. Net cash provided by net favorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of increases of accrued expenses of $1.6 million, partially offset by decreases of other items, net, of $0.3 million.
Reworded paragraphs (36)

Previous wording

We are a biopharmaceutical company committed to redefining the retina experience. AXPAXLI (axitinib intravitreal hydrogel, also known as OTX-TKI), our product candidate for retinal disease, is based on our proprietary ELUTYX bioresorbable hydrogel-based formulation technology. AXPAXLI is currently in two repeat-dosing Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD, which we refer to as the SOL-1 and the SOL-R trials. We have also completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of AXPAXLI for the treatment of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, or NPDR, which we refer to as the HELIOS trial. We intend to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in the first half of 2025 to discuss the design of a potential registrational clinical program for AXPAXLI for the treatment of NPDR and diabetic macular edema, or DME, and then evaluate our next steps.

We also leverage the ELUTYX technology in our commercial product DEXTENZA, an FDA-approved corticosteroid for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery and for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis, and our product candidate PAXTRAVA (travoprost intracameral hydrogel also known as OTX-TIC), which is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, or OAG, or ocular hypertension, or OHT.

Current wording

We also leverage the ELUTYX technology in our commercial product DEXTENZA, a corticosteroid approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery in adults and pediatric patients and for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis in adults and pediatric patients aged two years or older, and in our product candidate OTX-TIC, which is a travoprost intracameral hydrogel that has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, or OAG, or ocular hypertension, or OHT. We are currently evaluating next steps for the OTX-TIC program.

Previous wording

Our net product revenue is generated from the sale of DEXTENZA to specialty distributors, or SDs, for resale to certain ambulatory surgery centers, or ASCs, certain hospital outpatient departments, or HOPDs, and certain physicians’ offices, and from the direct sale by us to ASCs and physicians’ offices. Our net product revenue was $63.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of $5.6 million or 9.7% over the year ended December 31, 2023.

Current wording

Our net product revenue is generated from the sale of DEXTENZA to specialty distributors, or SDs, for resale to certain ambulatory surgery centers, or ASCs, certain hospital outpatient departments, or HOPDs, and certain physicians’ offices, and from the direct sale by us to ASCs and physicians’ offices, or Direct Sales.

Previous wording

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. par. 1395 et seq., or the Medicare Statute, physician administered non-opioid pain medications will receive separate payment in both the ASC and HOPD settings of care effective as of January 1, 2025. The Medicare Statute allows for continued separate payment of DEXTENZA in the ASC setting for 2025, and it re-establishes the separate payment of DEXTENZA in the HOPD setting that was lost for 2024. Additionally, the Medicare Statute limits the separate payment for physician administered non-opioid pain medications. In November 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, released the final Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, or MPFS, for the calendar year 2025, which results in a marginal decrease in physician payments for DEXTENZA. Effective January 2025, a clinician’s cost for DEXTENZA is included in the cost performance category of CMS’ Merit-based Incentive Payment System, or MIPS. For eligible clinicians, CMS calculates the MIPS final score based on four performance categories, which is then used by CMS to determine the payment adjustment applied to the clinicians’ Medicare Part B claims, with clinicians that incur costs above or below national average spending being penalized or incentivized, respectively.

Current wording

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. par. 1395 et seq., or the Medicare Statute, physician administered non-opioid pain medications have received separate payment in both the ASC and HOPD settings of care effective as of January 1, 2025. The Medicare Statute allows for continued separate payment of DEXTENZA in the ASC and HOPD settings in 2026.

*Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities.*In August 2023, in connection with entering into the Barings Credit Agreement, we identified an embedded derivative liability, or the Royalty Fee Derivative Liability, which we are required to measure at fair value at inception and then at the end of each reporting period until the embedded derivative is settled. In 2019, in connection with the issuance of our Convertible Notes, we identified an embedded derivative liability, or the Conversion Option Derivative Liability, which we are required to measure at fair value at inception and then at the end of each reporting period until the embedded derivative is settled. The settlement of the Conversion Option Derivative Liability occurred on March 28, 2024. The changes in fair value of these derivative liabilities are recorded through the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and are presented under the caption “change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

Previous wording

Our product revenue, net was $63.5 million and $57.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting an increase of $5.6 million year-over-year. All of our product revenue, net, was attributable to sales of DEXTENZA.

Current wording

Our product revenue, net was $51.8 million and $63.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $11.6 million year-over-year. All of our product revenue, net, was attributable to sales of DEXTENZA.

Previous wording

Our total gross-to-net provisions, or GTN Provisions, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 38.5% and 30.1%, respectively, of gross DEXTENZA product sales. We increased the wholesale acquisition cost, or WAC, for DEXTENZA effective April 2024 and again effective October 2024. Concurrently with the increases of the WAC, and additionally at other points in time in 2024, we also increased the off-invoice discount, or OID, for DEXTENZA as part of our overall pricing strategy. The OID amounts are generally determined at the time of resale by SDs or direct sales to ASCs or physicians’ offices by us. The GTN Provisions relative to gross DEXTENZA product sales increased as a result of the changes in the OID and are expected to increase with any additional anticipated OID increases, and we expect that GTN Provisions relative to gross DEXTENZA product sales will remain at this increased level, or might increase further, for 2025 and beyond.

Current wording

Our total GTN Provisions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were 51.6% and 38.5%, respectively, of gross DEXTENZA product sales. We are required to estimate the expected GTN Provisions when we sell DEXTENZA to SDs, ASCs and physicians’ offices and accrue for them at that time. We adjust the OID, a significant component of the GTN Provisions for DEXTENZA from time to time and typically on a quarterly basis as part of our overall pricing strategy. The actual OID amounts are generally determined at the time of resale by SDs or direct sales to ASCs or physicians’ offices by us. Effective January 1, 2026, we increased the OID. The total GTN Provisions for the year ended December 31, 2025 therefore include timing effects related to the increased OID, as the estimated GTN Provisions for units that we sold to SDs during 2025 under the pre-January 2026 OID and that were not sold as In-Market Sales during 2025 will be subject to the increased OID. We expect that GTN Provisions relative to gross DEXTENZA product sales will remain at this increased level, or might increase further, for 2026 and beyond.

Previous wording

We recognized $0.3 million of collaboration revenue related to the performance obligation under our license agreement with AffaMed to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial of PAXTRAVA during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. We recognize collaboration revenue based on a cost-to-cost method.

Current wording

Our collaboration revenue was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All of our collaboration revenue was attributable to the performance obligation under our license agreement with AffaMed to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial of OTX-TIC, which we fully satisfied in 2025. We recognize collaboration revenue based on a cost-to-cost method. We do not expect to recognize additional collaboration revenue for 2026, as we do not expect that the additional performance obligations under our license agreement with AffaMed will be fully or partially satisfied in 2026.

Based on our current operating plan, which includes estimates of anticipated cash inflows from DEXTENZA product sales and cash outflows from operating expenses and capital expenditures and reflects our observance of the minimum liquidity covenant of $20.0 million under the Barings Credit Agreement, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 will enable us to fund our planned operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. Our planned operating expenses do not include the expenses necessary to conduct a clinical trial of AXPAXLI for NPDR and DME, or to build out our manufacturing capabilities beyond the buildout of our existing manufacturing facilities.
